- Abstract
The article examines higher levels of central adiposity in health premenopausal women with family histories of premenopausal breast cancer. Results support the possibility that differences in patterns of adiposity may contribute to familial risk of premenopausal breast cancer. It suggests the importance of conducting large scale, population-based studies of the link between body size characteristics and familial breast cancer risk.
